It’s a bad analogy because in this case, the alternatives never went away. If you don’t want to pay for a service upfront with money, you need to pay for it with ads on the service provider’s terms. That is your personal problem stemming from your personal choices. There are alternatives.
- Dylan16807 4y agoThere's no way to pay for these services upfront and not have the ads and tracking, is there? Alternatives aren't real alternatives if you can't get to your friends.
- chaostheory 4y agoThey are alternatives because your friends can also switch services. The problem is that you are not willing to pay either money up front or with watching ads. That is not a meta problem, that is problem with your personal preferences no matter how you want to spin it. There are many alternatives available right now and they didn’t disappear like your bad analogy. What you’ve written is clearly disingenuous because you’re not willing to pay for SMS, which everyone including your friends still has access to. It’s not fair to blame meta for that
- Dylan16807 4y ago> The problem is that you are not willing to pay either money up front or with watching ads. > clearly disingenuous because you’re not willing to pay for SMS Why are you saying this?? I am fully willing to pay that much. josephcsible also sounds fully willing to pay that much.
- chaostheory 4y agoYou’re right. I misinterpreted one of your comments
